For fans of seventies exploitation flicks, Northville Cemetery Massacre is a must! The film is typically thin on plot, but this isn't important as directors William Dear and Thomas L. Dyke have ensured that the film is packed with the... Full review

A rowdy and scruffy, but basically decent and likable biker gang stop off in a small Southern town. They are immediately antagonized and put in jail by the browbeating local yokel cops. A brutish deputy rapes a teenage girl and... Full review

Northville Cemetery Massacre is a fun little biker exploitation/rape-revenge-plotted slice of pie with some southern rock rumblings from Mike Nesmith of TV's Super Stud Brigade The Monkees. Good old boys, good old blood and guts violence, and some good old... Full review

William Dear should best be known as the director of 'Harry & The Hendersons' and as one of the pioneers of early 80's video releases. One of his earliest releases though, the rape-revenge themed biker movie 'Northville Cemetery Massacre', still... Full review

I too was fortunate enough to view the screening of this film the other night in Hollywood at the monthly Grindhouse screening. Lots of hippies, bikers and shootings in slo-mo with blood packs spurting a la Peckinpah. Apparently this movie... Full review

I saw The Northville Cemetery Massacre along with Satan's Sadists as part of the monthly Grindhouse dbl feature in Hollywood at the New Beverly Cinema. The director, William Dear, humbly introduced the film and shared some amusing antidotes. Hopefully I... Full review

**May Contain Spoilers**Other writers have more than adequately described the plot of this ultraviolent biker vs. redneck opus so I'll get straight to the editorializing. Picture, if you will, a cross between THE HUNTING PARTY and/or THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME... Full review

The greatest biker movie ever made! In fact, it's the only biker movie I like. Every other biker movie promises so much and delivers so little. This film gets the job done. Thank God at least one movie made the... Full review

Apparently the 10 or 12 people (worldwide!) who have seen this movie have not yet spoken up enough about it to elevate it to cult classic status. When I first heard about it I mistakenly assumed from the title that... Full review

This is one of those low-budget biker vs the cops pictures that permeated the early seventies movie scene. Unlike those other titles though this one features some of the most violent scenes I've ever watched.The story concerns a small town... Full review

It's a true-blue indie exploitationer, to be sure, but co-directors Bill Dear and Tom Dyke are smart enough to twist a few conventions....When this movie promises a massacre at a cemetery --....I don't think the world really needs a pristine anamorphic widescreen transfer on Northville Cemetery Massacre ..... ...
